If you’re reading this toot there’s a pretty high chance you’ve asked yourself ethical questions about your social media use *and that’s why you’re here*
You’ve likewise probably got concerns about Meta and Threads
But the 90-odd % of your friends you left behind on Facebook, Insta etc. likely don’t have those concerns to the same extent as you
Mastodon has to win on user experience *as well as on ethics*. We can’t just berate the Meta users
@jon I don't think this is some kind of competition. Mastodon doesn't have to "win", it is its own thing, apart from whatever Twitter or Meta or Bluesky or whoever does. It has value on its own.
That does not mean I don't think the Mastodon experience should be improved, but I think the aim of those improvements should be to make the lives of the users better, not to "win" against Meta or whatever.
@jon Haha, I might have over-focused on the word 'win' here, indeed.
There has been so much discourse on fediverse versus Meta, especially with Meta's imminent entry into the fediverse, that I assumed this toot was part of that same thing. My apologies for seeming too aggressive.
